The alternative left demands to imitate Die Linke's radical housing measures after its success in Berlin
Parties such as IU, Más Madrid, Movimiento Sumar, Podemos and ERC, as well as the movement for the right to housing, see Sunday's result as an endorsement of their forceful program to lower rents.
Die Linke has achieved success in the regional elections in Berlin, with its candidate Elif Eralp, a German-Turkish woman, being the most voted. Eralp's program focused on housing and the affordability of basic products. This victory has sparked reactions in the alternative left-wing space, with many interpreting it as a model for future elections. The elections are seen as a potential guide for the 2027 regional, municipal, and general elections.
